Mechanism of Action of Prothrombin Gene Mutation: Prothrombin is the precursor to thrombin in the coagulation cascade (see the above diagram). Thrombin is required in order to convert fibrinogen into fibrin, which is the primary goal of the coagulation cascade. The gene has a mutation at position 20210, hence the disorder being referred to as prothrombin mutation 20210. The mutation leads to an increased amount of thrombin circulating in the person's blood stream. The exact mechanism by which the prothrombin gene mutation results in a thrombophilic state is unclear. It is thought that the increased amount of circulating prothrombin provides a springboard upon which the clotting cascade can get started and that, in some circumstances, it may run out of control because of that springboard potential

This is my blood disease!
